KVM: VMX: Manually load RDX in vCPU-run asm blob
Load RDX with the VMCS.HOST_RSP field encoding on-demand instead of delegating to the compiler via an input constraint. In addition to saving one whole MOV instruction, this allows RDX to be properly clobbered (in a future patch) instead of being saved/loaded to/from the stack. Despite nested_vmx_check_vmentry_hw() having similar code, leave it alone, for now. In that case, RDX is unconditionally used and isn't clobbered, i.e. sending in HOST_RSP as an input is simpler. Note that because HOST_RSP is an enum and not a define, it must be redefined as an immediate instead of using __stringify(HOST_RSP). The naming "conflict" between host_rsp and HOST_RSP is slightly confusing, but the former will be removed in a future patch, at which point HOST_RSP is absolutely what is desired.
